Roy, Mako, still having problems with the site. Getting "domain not found".

Congrat's Fidel....great post. Easy to tell who wears the pants though!

Welcome aboard. Great post..

Was thinkin' the same thing Art! You know, I'm a pretty tolerant guy but what keeps coming to mind is maybe the world was lucky enough that the prop castrated him so that he wouldn't pass along the bowl of stupid he ate for breakfast to his offspring!

No question here.......... Who: Pete Maina, Marc Thorpe and to drive these two nuts Dave Mercer Where: Lac Seul What: Pleeeze!

Awesome...

I have only had the pleasure of caressing one before I had to give it back, sure was a thing of beauty. I think that I am in the line up for sometime in 2010.

Belated congrat's.

Thanks guys...as I only intend to use it in the one boat, it seems that I am going fixed mount. Any brands to avoid? Who can steer me in the right direction as far as antenna choice?

Looking to buy a VHF marine radio. Any comments or recommendations, handheld vs fixed mount, brand etc etc..........

Ahhhhhhh, it was a nice summer while it lasted.......

I have made a formal request to have this thread pulled, unless of course you post your address........

OK no prob Rick, you are of course technically correct, however HE is going to get nailed as well as the marina.

Burt, did I tell you why I dislike you..........

Thanks for the link Rick. It seems to me that based on the questions he asked, he has not completed a boating safety course. I have been at many marinas over the past year or so and have yet to see a completed rental boat safety checklist. Get the darned operator card and be legal no matter what............saves all of the guesswork and interpretation.

As of September 15, 2009 all boaters will be required to have the Pleasure Craft Operator Card in order to operate a powered watercraft. There is no grandfather clause or age exemption – this law applies to all boaters. Powered watercraft includes watercraft fitted with any size motor – even a trolling motor.

Thanks Joey, great report. Barbara & I are headed to the West Arm this Sat for a week. Rumour has it there will be a few other familiar faces up there too. Nice talons by the way.........

Brian, that Carolina vinegar based sauce is perfect, not too sweet, not to sour.

There's a place between Fayetteville and Lumberton NC that serves up the best BBQ. You know the kinda place where your arteries harden the minute you walk through the door. They make up to 20 gallons of that sauce a day.

Carolina vinegar based sauce too......damn! You're killin' me Burt. At least have the decency to have the wind blow in the other direction!..

That sweet smokey smell is drifting into my office.....can't concentrate!

Congrat's to all Brian. Grandchildren are a wonderful thing! J...

Thanks for the report Dan. We are headed up to Memquisit this Saturday for a week. First time that we have tried somewhere different than Lakair up there.

Sounds like a great project Sully. Don't let the prices of a handful of high priced rare lures put you off. There are many interesting old ones that you can buy on line for a few $$'s each that would look just as good as those several hundred $ ones.
